The new year is almost here, and several celebrations are airing on TV this week, including the annual “New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash.”
The five-hour special features a new lineup of events and performers to gear viewers up for the final holiday celebration of the year — and the party won’t stop at the stroke of midnight.
“You hear people say, ‘I’m honored and privileged to be working with a certain group of people,’ but in this case, I am blown away that I’m allowed to work with these people. This lineup is insane,” co-host Bert Kreischer said. “This event, which I was a very small part of last year, is so much fun. To be working with my buddy Hardy … it feels like I should be paying CBS to do this. I can’t wait. I hope I keep my shirt on, and I promise not to drink until the stroke of midnight, unless you want me to drink earlier.”
